4 FAQs about 5G Macro Base Station Uses Huazhong Power Supply Cabinet with 10MWh

How do engineers design 5G base stations?

Engineers designing 5G base stations must contend with energy use, weight, size, and heat, which impact design decisions. 5G New Radio (NR) uses Multi-User massive-MIMO (MU-MIMO), Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), and beamforming with millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum up to 71 GHz.

Why are small cells a new part of 5G?

The need to increase the number of base stations to provide wider and more dense coverage has led to the creation of small cells. Small cells are a new part of the 5G platform that increase network capacity and speed, while also having a lower deployment cost than macrocells.

How do small cells fit into the 5G ecosystem?

A cell tower (also called a macrocell) is a huge umbrella used to provide radio signals to thousands of users in large areas with minimal obstructions. To extend the coverage of a macrocell, distributive antenna systems (DASs) are used in conjunction with the cell tower.

Does 5G gnodeb need a heat sink?

A power-supply unit suitable for 5G gNodeB installations requires a heat sink. Power consumption is one major reason for these changes. Electricity currently is 5% to 6% of a mobile operator's opex, according to MTN Consulting [Ref. 1].
